Kenyans must be vigilant. It seems the government is after everyone who coughs online. Kenyans of all walks of life condemned the arrest of Activist Abraham Mutai and have stood in solidarity with him. Indeed, fighting for our rights is not a cake walk. Mutai was flown From Mombasa to Nairobi after being arrested by CID and is currently at Muthaiga police station. Here are some views from Kenyans .
Arrest the Land grabbers, Thieves, murderers, the corrupt but leave bloggers and the media do their work. #FreeMutai

Elected leaders should not victimize Kenyans in the name of insults instead of delivery of service #FreeMutai

The government has never shown any interest in fighting corruption…always pampering it and arresting those exposing corruption #FREEMUTAI

I tweeted here that Kibaki was our best president ever. I was insulted and reminded how cool Uhuru is. #FreeMutai

We are now poaching free speech and whistleblowing #FreeMutai

@ItsMutai is a patriot! A young man who loves his country passionately that’s why he has been speaking against corruption #FreeMutai

Sad that Govt acting on the laws declared null and void by Justice Odunga. Freedom of expression guaranteed. #FreeMutai #LetMutaiTweet

The police is not your enemy here. Don’t treat them as enemies. They are equally frustrated with these orders for arrests. #FreeMutai

Mr. @OleItumbi we are waiting for you to spin #FreeMutai arrest on behalf of president @UKenyatta who has refused to fight corruption.

Same govt detaining @ItsMutai & bloggers never apprehended perpetrators of Westgate, Kapedo,Mandera,Lamu, Kimono, Eastleigh #FreeMutai

My fellow kenyan’s the arrest is not about GDC its all about the poaching story he posted. Daganya toto jinga. #FreeMutai #FreeMutai
— Mohammed Ali (@MohaJichoPevu) January 17, 2015
Its not about GDC. Why arrest a whistle blower and not the land grabbers? Sad days ahead. We are slaves in our own country. #FreeMutai
— Mohammed Ali (@MohaJichoPevu) January 17, 2015
Clearly there is no difference between us and those in jail; it is just that they have been caught and we haven’t. #FreeAbrahamMutai
— Dennis Onsarigo (@Donsarigo) January 17, 2015
Is whistle blowing a crime in this country? Or were they putting Mutai under witness protection?? #FreeMutai cc: @MohaJichoPevu
